5 years ago, with the help of the Brusk crew, my friends David, Yan and I had the opportunity to participate in the construction of our own dreampark, consisting primarily of a clover-shaped, 7 feet deep pool. Over the years the need for more progressive transition has grown bigger, as well as our experience in DIY projects.
With an initial budget of 5000€ and logistic support of the local municipality (big up to Patrice, Colette and the whole MJ team), we have decided to jump into the construction and see what happens; turning us into heads of the construction site for about 18 days, non-stop.
For the last week, Mike Van den Ouderaa joined us, after he had heard that we were struggling with the lack of appropriate tools for handling concrete. He called up his friends Thierry Brondeel and Ratman from the region of Aalst and their Australian lad Brodie, who happened to be travelling through Europe. Arne Hillerns (2er in Hannover, Pura Pura skatepark in Bolivia) also joined for a day and the last pourings.
Thanks to everybody who came out to help! Blaise, François, Quentin, Shaun, Mahell, Nathan, Roxy, Jean, Seba, Angelo, all the French crew from Angers, and anybody else I couldn’t think of off the top of my head!
And especially Mike because he has taught us so much and given us many great ideas. You rock man! Keep on hand planting any tranny you bump into!
Now enjoy it, ride it and grind it till you bleed or puke!
